The faithfulness of God and the faith of Jehoida

Everything was in a very low state; and, to outward appearance, all
was over with the house of David; but the faithfulness of God did not
fail. And, although the power of the throne is absolutely destroyed,
and the family of David set aside, God raises up a man of faith, in
the person of the high priest, to restore the whole. The chastisement
of God was complete. The entire order of the throne was subverted by
His judgment. Nothing was left but the faithfulness of God. Man was
judged. He had no longer any means of recovery. But all things are at
God's disposal, the heart of Jehoshaphat and the faith of
Jehoiada. The latter takes the needful steps, and the king is set upon
his throne; and, after all, the same thing which we have seen before
again takes place: the king appoints everything concerning the
re-establishment of the order in the house of God.
